Reviews SummaryThe Ford Mustang returns for a final tour as its primary rivals head to retirement. This seventh-generation pony car is based on its predecessor but receives numerous upgrades that significantly improve its interior and technology. For fun on a budget, it's difficult to beat a Mustang, and this newest version continues the tradition with a healthy dose of nostalgia. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen we think Civic, our minds don’t instinctively leap toward the Type R. This isn’t a commuter special priced for newly minted drivers and aimed at sensible manners and good fuel economy. Driving the Type R is something else entirely: bombastic, fast, and an instantly memorable experience. With more power and performance, the new 2023 Honda Civic Type R provides a more exhilarating driving experience than ever before. | |
